Golden Fishing Village

Chapter 1451 1458. The Wall of the Old House (3)

The heavy rain brought by artificial means came and went quickly, and the clouds disappeared and the rain stopped in the evening of the same day.

However, there were still many subsequent impacts. In the next three or four days, there was always intermittent rain falling over Hongyang Bay.

Finally, Longtou Village entered a period of drizzle and mist. The grass and trees on Dalong Mountain were moistened by the rain, and the whole place was refreshed. The green mountain made people feel comfortable.

In this way, bamboo shoots emerged and wild mushrooms grew after every rain. Ao Muyang went up the mountain again and again, and he had a good harvest and picked up a lot of wild mushrooms.

Although the rainfall was artificially caused, most people didn't know about it. They really thought it was because of praying to the Dragon King for rain.

In the next few days, the Ersheng Temple in the town was lively. People from seven villages, eight villages, three townships and five towns came in an endless stream, and the news that the Dragon King appeared in the temple spread like wildfire.

Faith is like this, the chain effect is very strong.

In the past, people came to worship and burn incense at Ersheng Temple, but most of them were old people, and they didn't have much money, so they could only burn some paper money and offer a few sticks of incense.

Now, after the news of the appearance of the Dragon King, the people who came to worship at Ersheng Temple have become more complicated. Many of them are middle-aged people who have money. The tributes, paper money and incense they brought filled up the utility room of Ersheng Temple.

Gradually, tourists were also influenced. They heard that the Bodhisattva in this temple was very effective. With the mentality of kneeling when they saw the temple, believing in it, not believing in it, and not missing it when passing by, they added an extra item when they came to travel, that is, to worship at the temple.

The two temple priests had lived in poverty for half their lives and had eaten boiled vegetables for half their lives, but suddenly they lived a comfortable life.

Ao Muyang saw two people go to Teacher Ao Zhisheng for medicine. He asked what happened. Ao Zhisheng told him that the two temple priests had been eating roast chicken and roast goose crazily recently. The food was too greasy. One of them couldn't digest it, and the other had enteritis...

The continuous rain quenched the thirst of the dry countryside, but after a long drought, it suddenly rained continuously. Some old houses began to get damp, the wall skin peeled off, and mud and water flowed. There were many problems.

Ao Muyang's old house encountered these problems. The walls of the house were made of mud. After years of wind and rain, they were shaky every year. This year, there was a severe drought and heavy rain, and the old wall finally couldn't stand it.

The weather was cloudy and sunny for a long time. It would be mid-August when it cleared up completely.

Lao Ao had no time to go to the mountains to find mushrooms and fruits. He began to think about cleaning up this wall.

He was strolling outside the old house, thinking about the wall repair problem, when an enthusiastic voice rang out: "Hey, Director Ao, long time no see!"

Ao Muyang turned his head and saw Jiang Caoqi's handsome face. His dog was inseparable from him as usual, wagging its tail at Old Ao.

Seeing Jiang Caoqi suddenly, Ao Muyang was a little surprised and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. Are you back from Australia?"

Jiang Caoqi said, "Australia? When was that? I came back a long time ago. I went to study for a master's degree, an MBA, and I've been studying for half a year."

Hearing his words, Lao Ao was in awe: "Highly educated intellectuals."

Jiang Caoqi waved his hand disdainfully and said, "What kind of high education is this? I already have a master's degree, okay? The reason why I studied this MBA is that my family asked me to get a degree and expand my network in the class."

Speaking of this, he became interested: "Lao Ao, do you want to sign up for an MBA class? It's not really for learning anything. That place is very suitable for expanding your network, and the people there are a bit powerful."

Ao Muyang was a little moved. Not being able to go to college has always been a regret in his heart. So he asked, "Where are you going to study?"

Jiang Caoqi said, "It doesn't matter. There must be a university in Hongyang that offers this course. You can choose any school whose name you like. Just bring your money and university diploma to register."

All of a sudden, Lao Ao gave up: "I don't have a university diploma."

Jiang Caoqi asked in surprise, "Did you drop out of college? Were you overwhelmed by the chicken soup of Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, Steve Jobs, and Zuckerberg?"

Ao Muyang sighed, "I don't want to talk about this topic. Can't you study for an MBA without a university diploma?"

Jiang Caoqi shrugged and said, "According to national regulations, you can't."

Ao Muyang said, "Okay, I'll stay in the village and be my village cadre. By the way, why did you come back?"

He was in a bad mood and his tone became hot.

As a result, Jiang Caoqi's dog, called leader, was very protective of his master. When he heard his tone become explosive, he immediately roared at him.

Jiang Caoqi was very satisfied with this and smiled: "Haha, good boy."

Ao Muyang sneered: "Grandson, what are you yelling for? If you yell again, I will call your father to deal with you, believe it or not?"

Jiang Caoqi's mouth twitched twice, and suddenly he became excited: "Don't talk nonsense, Lao Ao, the leader is my child, and he has only one father, that is me!"

"Then his grandfather is a bit too much." Ao Muyang said regretfully.

Jiang Caoqi said angrily: "Nonsense, don't go too far!"

Ao Muyang rolled his eyes and said: "I just told the truth, forget it, I won't argue with you, why did you come back to the village at this time?"

Jiang Caoqi said: "I haven't come to Longtou Village to play for a long time. Didn't I have a summer vacation some time ago? I went to Northern Europe for a tour, and then came to the village."

Ao Muyang said: "Well, you may not find a playmate this time. Lu Wuyi is working with a friend of mine."

"Then don't I have you as a playmate?"

"I'm very busy. I have to repair this old house."

Jiang Caoqi's eyes suddenly lit up: "What a coincidence, you say what a coincidence, you want to repair this old house, right? Then you need my help, do you know what course I studied for my first graduate degree?"

Ao Muyang asked: "Clinical veterinary medicine?"

"Nonsense!" Jiang Caoqi snorted, "It's traditional architecture!"

Ao Muyang asked: "That's great, then let's repair my old house together. Well, I'll mix the mud and you'll move the bricks, how about it?"

Jiang Caoqi was almost choked by his words: "What bricks to move? I'm really a master of traditional architecture!"

Ao Muyang nodded and said, "I believe it, so I gave you the important task of moving bricks."

Jiang Caoqi shook his hand unhappily and said, "Aren't you insulting me? I said I would help you come up with a plan for renovation and redecoration, not do the work myself."

Ao Muyang pointed to the mottled and decayed earthen wall of the old house and said, "Do you need a plan for this thing?"

Jiang Caoqi walked over and kicked it, opened his mouth and said, "Of course, I can..."

He kicked it and heard a muffled sound. He kicked a large cobblestone in the earthen wall. The stone was kicked out of the earthen wall by him, so that his foot passed through the earthen hole and stuck on it.

Ao Muyang looked at him angrily. He awkwardly pulled his legs back and muttered, "This wall is not worth repairing. I think it's better to tear it down and rebuild it. Hey, hey, I can't pull my foot out."
